Okay, let's kick some you know what this week in the market. Let's get some posts going. Enough slacking, you slackers.

And 84.00 is now hit. Keep in mind, that is the first area I'm watching. As I frequently say, when I have a tiger by the tail...

Quoting Charlie Daniels from that one TV commercial where he just rips it on his fiddle: "That's how ya do it, son."

I can't imagine them giving back any more than this, so I think 84 is most likely it. But, if not, my levels are about 80.75-82.25 and 75.25-76.00, give or take. Just in case. Watch this little higher low on the tick chart here.

Like I was saying...

It sure likes that second level so far.

Like I said. 'Too easy'.

Rolling right off the .382/.447 area... But I think they'll put in a higher low on here.

This inability for this to rise is just thrilling to watch for a 'short' guy like me. It did put in the higher low, but after a little BC leg 4PT, it rose to a shortened ABCD, and then weakened again. That doesn't mean it will necessarily set a new low for the move (it may instead come off the GZ, or just chop down in here), but it is just fantastic to see them not be able to ramp it right to new highs on command.

And chop it does, not going below the GZ the entire time. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Now it looks ready to launch up. Another big shocker.

And the ink was barely dry on that last post when it did, indeed, explode up. 'Too easy'.

They are just going nuts on this. Nine points in a flash. Wow. 1205 next? The small checkback today came at the only other 'key' area I had before the 1205 area, so that was no surprise. But, I'm wondering if this won't be looking at 1240-50, so that is surely something I am also pondering in my scenario analysis. 1205 area by tomorrow, as I mentioned last night???

Incredible charts, roofer.

Yeah, you have it covered. But, alas, it is futile. That's why we were exiled (or I was) to the private forum. I mean, the work we show, much of it in advance, the things we see and post (in advance), over and over, how we explain it all, not just post, how we are willing to answer questions, even take on occasional students, and I am not missed even slightly out there. All those posts, all that contribution, and not one single person e-mailed me and said they wish I would post out there, not one post saying what a waste, to drive Jim out. Nope, no one cares. All they do out there (and I mean in all forums, not specifically here) is slam.

Look at that thread for my books at Elite. It's comical, and I'm so far beyond discouraged it is unreal. My work, roofer's work in here, to me it's just so profound, amongst the best material ever discovered in the markets by anyone in any time period in market history (that's my honest opinion). And all people do is attack it, instead of see it for what it is, and go nuts absorbing it. I give up. F#%& 'em. You can lead a horse to water (or the best champagne in the world)...
